God Bless & Good Fishin’

Everyone here at Pittsburg Marine loves to fish! We fish FLW Outdoors BFL Events, Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail, Kentucky Bass Federation, KHSAA High School Events, etc. We also host buddy tournaments such as the Annual Thanksgiving Buddy Tournament & Fish’n for Missions on Lake Cumberland. Plus we like to brag a little on our customers when they do well!! If you have a tournament that you would like for us to let everyone know about please forward your information to pittsburgmarine@windstream.net. This is also the place where you find information on our Annual Open House, Fishing Schools and Boat Shows.

*10/26/19* The LORD called Jimmy home since the 9th Annual Fish’n for Missions tournament and lots of things have changed here at Pittsburg Marine! This was a very dear event to Jimmy. It was a time to see old friends, make new friends, talk fishing, share a story, have a good laugh at someone else’s expense but more importantly a time to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ! You see Fish’n for Missions was an idea or vision if you will of Jimmy’s. Through Fish’n for Missions Jimmy & Rick has reached people home and abroad, even in different countries! In Matthew 10:42 the Bible says “And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. So even though this is a fishing tournament, it truly has become a real mission work!!
